  16. Sound bites from participants This class has been one of the best educational experiences of my life. It is hard to believe that there was so much history right in our area that I was unaware of. I cannot wait to implement many of things that I have learned in this class within my classroom. Jeff Palmer This experience has been so rewarding for me, I’ve struggled with trying to help non-natives understand and accept who I am “Lakota”. Being in this class showed me that there are a lot of non-natives fighting my fight with me. ZabieZimiga

  17. Sound bites from participants The Classroom on Wheels is the best thing that I have experienced. I am an Oglala Lakota from Pine Ridge, but so much of this information I had not had the opportunity to learn. Ramona Herrington This has been a powerful week. I’ve learned about things I either didn’t know or had misconceptions towards. I didn’t realize how closely Lakota identity is tied to their spirituality to the land. I plan to continue learning about Lakota’s then incorporating as much as I can into my Biology lessons. I have really appreciated your effort to use information that has been researched and corroborated to explain historical events and cultural beliefs. This class has made me a better person. Bob Byer
